Hello,

I am new here and i mainly comfortable in back end web development and not in design stuff specialy using photoshop and now want to give a shot to photoshop (want to use it in web design). But i am confused where to start. There is alot of tutorials over net but they are problem specific. I am having trouble to implement it in my problem so i want resource or manual like things where i can start from the begining and gradualy move forward. I have a planed design in mind but having trouble to render it in photoshop. I had played around since yesterday and nothing so called improvment! is there any kind of resource?

thanks in adavance!
 
Thanks dv8 for quick reply.

I want to make a logo first. can you guide me? i heared about photo tracing though i am not sure how does it do. Is it possible to draw in photoshop in freehand as it happends with flash?
 
I have not any tablet. other than tablet how can i go for it?

Or perhaps you can isolate a selected part on an image and use that as a logo.

How can i do that? I have drawn the logo in paper roughly just cant make it happen in photoshop.

BTW if it helps, i am using CS3
 
CS3, oK.

Scan the drawing and open in PS. You can color the drawing , and do the rest of the logo directly in PS.

If it's slright with you, upload a pix of your drawing so we can see what we can do with it.
 
Hi Birbal, welcome to PSG. There is a lot to be learned here.

For me, the best thing is the community, helping each other and having fun. I have learned a lot here, but I think it's important to get the basics of Photoshop. We can't be much help beyond very specific tasks -- like making a logo -- unless we know that you'll understand the essential commands. Anyway, this is my opinion.

I belong to lynda.com for $25 a month. It is a stupendous site. You might consider taking a look around it and seeing how much is offered. The Intro courses are really good and there are a few of those. They are organized video classes. I recommend them.

But if we can guide you through this project, we will :mrgreen:
 
If you have Illustrator, that's where you should design your logo.

In either case, open your scanned sketch, create a new layer below it, drop the opacity of your sketch layer to 50% or less, click on the empty bottom layer, and start drawing.

Brush tool allows free-hand drawing, but pen and shape tools will give you a more professional look.
